What? Not another newbie! Why yes it is!! Hi everybody. Was just surfing around, looking for Newfy stuff when I found this place quite by accident. This is great! I love the fact there's a Newfoundland forum where people can meet to trade anecdotes, advice and whatnot. They're the angels of the world, no doubt about it. Umm..the Newfies, not necessarily their people. LOL j/k.
Well, not really...
I've been a Newfy lover for years but have only admired them from afar and have never had one. However, I'm happy to report that tomorrow evening at 7:39 p.m., that's all about to change. Woo-hoo! For the first time EVER, I'm going to have a Newfy of my own to brighten my home. The name I have given her is Nani (meaning "beautiful" or "lovely one" in Hawaiian) and she's 8 weeks old, black with white on her chest, chin and on the tips of her two back tootsies and so gorgeous she makes you melt. I've been waiting for this little gal since June of 2000 and I gotta tell ya, the past year and a half has been one LONG pace-fest. One more day! One more day! *jumping up and down*
We've got the Pedialyte, crate, harness, treats and hearts full of love ready and waiting for when we finally pick her up at the airport. I'm nervous, excited, happy and worried all at once. Will she love me as much as I already love her? Will she like her new home? These are the thoughts that have been running repeatedly through my mind for the past two weeks now. Oh but this last day is going by so slow!
Anyway, wish me luck, you guys. I may not have any stories to share yet but I will very soon. Be prepared for pictures! No, be prepared for LOTS of pictures! *grins*
